Congratulations to Archith! His work on quantum water desalination – where protons transport via quantum dominated phenomena (such as transport via interstitials, tunneling, etc.) and hydroxide ions transport via nanopores and the transported protons and hydroxide ions recombine to form water – just appeared in the Journal of Applied Physics. Quantum water desalination, when combined with the usual water desalination processes (e.g. reverse osmosis), can significantly enhance water transport through membranes!
